They either pulled the TAR21 cast from the same pool as TAR20 or they are having a different kind of season. I kind of doubt another gimmick season this soon after UB though. I think there were plenty of applications for the casting round that ended in December so they can probably find two seasons worth from there.

The start of filming for the season aired in the fall is tricky because they have started in April, May, June and July before.

Why do you say they are pulling the cast for season 21 from the casting pool for season 20, they had application due for "an upcoming season at the end of last year that was due December first but was then pushed back to I think like December 3rd. Because season 20 was racing at that time it those applications couldn't have been for season 20. Maybe I am mistaken but it seems to me that they had a normal casting cycle for season 21.

Anyone know whether the teams have been selected yet? Is this definitely a celebrity edition? Dying to know...

FORGETABOUTIT. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Never say never. But let's all pray for NEVER!!

They can cast C or D list celebrities, just like the Celebrity Apprentice. And/Or cast from other reality tv shows. I would die of ecstasy if a pair from RuPaul's Drag Race makes it to TAR. Manila Luzon & Jiggly Caliente

Or they can cast real people, which results in the best possible Amazing Race.

I think filming could begin sometime this month. My reason is that this July the London 2012 Summer Olympics will be happening and around possibly weeks before the opening ceromonies of the games, alot of people especially the athletes will be travelling to London to prepare for the Olympics. Another thing is that in 2010, Season 17 was filmed in late May; and last year Season 19 was filmed in the middle of the summer. So this year a May-June start is my guess for the 21st season.

For what it's worth, here's what Phil said about TAR 21 in his recent TV Guide Interview:

Do you have any updates on Season 21?

Keoghan: We start filming in the summer. We're working rapidly to get everything in line. We're excited to be going out again. Some stuff is locked and some stuff is up in the air. Up until the day we leave, we're still finessing. ... There'll be some new places and we're finalizing the cast. We hit a homerun with the cast this season. I think as the show has gone on, we've gotten better teams because more and more people who are fans want to be on the show.

He talks about filming in the summer. That would suggest June or later (technically June 20th to September 22nd), but I wouldn't put a lot of faith it that. I'd advise keeping our eyes open, but keep in mind that it could well be several weeks yet.
